just about done...

There are a few more things that I may add to Hank's nursery (still need to hang some wall shelves perhaps, definitely put up the antique lacrosse stick above his door, get a bookshelf for future toys), but for now we're considering the room just about done! Yay! Here are some pictures :)

Hank's Crib with paintings hung!



Close up of paintings before they were hung... I painted them w/ acrylic paint, then drew the animals on paper in charcoal and kind of shellacked (spelling?) them on there.



A bit closer up of the bedding we LOVE!!!



And a bit closer up...



The changing table area...



Close-up of mobile:



Reading Corner and window...



A close-up just above the rocker - the painting that Elizabeth did for Hank (LOVE!) and the "antique" plates that were given to Craig when he was a baby.



On the window sill... Hank blocks that Poppy and Cillie helped me pick out at an antiques store, the Happy block that the Harrisons gave me a few years ago and some baby pictures of me and of Craig (in pink and blue respectively!).



Also, here are current photos of me and Baby Hank! It's just about countdown time - four weeks to go if he's perfectly on time.

Wow! The love you have for your soon to born son just pours out of the screen as I read this post. So many personal touches in his nursery and so much care. He is clearly going to be a very loved little boy.

I also have one of those blue plates with the stork on. Just a few years older though!

Great blog. I will link to it from my own (if that's OK with you).

So precious! I wonder if I'll have it as together as you ever . . . and you're growing a baby!! I hope you are enjoying your last month. I can't wait to meet baby Hank.
